Abstract
Background: Muscle cramps are a common complaint experienced by patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis and can reduce their comfort and quality of life. One potentially effective non-pharmacological intervention is massage combined with lavender-scented oil, which has physical and psychological relaxation effects.
Purpose: To describe the effect of massage with lavender-scented oil on reducing muscle cramps in hemodialysis patients.
Method: This study used a descriptive design with a case study method in two hemodialysis patients experiencing muscle cramps in the Hemodialysis Ward at PKU Muhammadiyah Bantul Hospital. Muscle cramps were measured using the Cramp Questionnaire Chart before and after the intervention. The intervention, which consisted of massage using lavender-scented oil for approximately 30 minutes, was conducted in two sessions for each respondent.
Results: There was a decrease in muscle cramp scores in both respondents after the intervention. Mr. T experienced a decrease in muscle cramp scores from 9 (severe cramps) to 7 at the first session and from 7 to 6 at the second session. Meanwhile, Mr. M's muscle cramp score decreased from 9 to 8 at the first session and from 8 to 7 at the second session.
